Just visited our local ski show and chatted with the Salomon rep about the new S/Pro boots. I have an older pair of the X/Pro 120’s which fit fine in all, but I can’t help but wonder what a lighter boot might feel like after a long day on the slopes.
I’m a intermediate+ skier, 49, ski at least 20-30 days/yr so every little bit of advantage I can get helps, especially hearing it was over 1 pound for each boot. Especially when I’m trying to keep up (and beat) my kids.
I’m not looking to spend needlessly but I usually squirrel away a little money for gear upgrades and perhaps this might be worth it. Already have a couple ski camps booked that I could help break in some new gear.
Any thoughts on these boots and if it’d be worth the spend?
